Balloon Slider Mania

The latest project by Team Cornersoft; Balloon Slider Mania is a high score based slider romhack where you collect balloons for points as you scale down mountains, structures, and unique locales! Go for a quick time, find all the Team Cornersoft Tokens, and maybe attempt to earn the always elusive G rank!
